Andy Roddick won the Nasdaq-100 Open title in Miami when Guillermo Coria retired due to back spasms.

Second seed Roddick was leading 6-7, 6-3, 6-1 when Argentine Coria - who received treatment throughout the match - decided to quit. Coria said: "It was excruciating pain and though I won the first set, I could not finish."

Meanwhile, Tim Henman has dropped one place to eighth in the Champions Race after his second-round defeat in Miami.
